Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 296.2: Peace

The Black World Tree Is the information that it's an imitation of the World Tree not far off the mark? (Professor 1)

Isn't its Magic Absorption just a side effect? When you look at its behavior, it makes more sense to think that it did what it did because its real mission was to grow. It is said that the World Tree is rooted in the earth and has stored enormous magic power over a long period of time. (Professor 2)

For Magi, an excellent staff that dramatically increases the quality and number of spells they can cast is something they desperately want. In this day and age, excellent staff are extremely rare. The performance of a staff increases or decreases greatly depending on the materials used, the skill of the maker, and the timing of the creation, so there is no two staff that are alike, and it is said that even a first-class wand maker can only produce one in ten staff that can withstand practical use. Moreover, wands produced with modern technology are vastly inferior to those generated as a Relic. Most of the wands possessed by famous Magi are nearly one-of-a-kind Relics, and wands that are comparable to those Relics are produced in extremely small quantities and are sold for a terrifying price.

As one would expect, most professors at Zebrudia Magic Academy already have famous wands, but when the possibility of creating a powerful wand lies before them, it is inevitable that they will throw off the task of rebuilding the school building and gather in the auditorium.

Sage, also known as Immortal (Fumetsu), has been a Magi for much longer than she looks, but she has never heard of a substitute for the World Tree.

From what I have checked, it seems that the wand that was brought in did not go out of control at the time when it was touched by the Sword Saints (Kensei) Magi companion. Could it be that after being buried in the Sword Saint's (Kensei) warehouse for so many years and not being used, the lack of Magic power could have caused it to run amok? (Professor 3)

So it was filled up with the attacks made by Rosemary and the Magi from the academy It does make sense, in a manner of speaking (Professor 4)

So, you're saying that Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) anticipated this and sent the wand to you? (Professor 5)

That's ridiculous

The eyes of the professor of the academy were completely clouded over the face of the greatest discovery of the century. I hastily interject into the conversation, which is about to take a strange turn on its own while I was remaining silent.

Wait, wait, wait, no matter how good his reason wasThe destruction of the academy and the endangerment of the Imperial Capital must not be forgiven. (Sage)

But Professor Sage. The Empire is surprisingly silent about him. In the first place, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) saved the Emperor's life just the other day, and at the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, he thwarted Nine-Tails Shadow Fox's (Kyubi no Kage Kitsune) plan. It is too bad to denounce him now. After all, we were the ones to close the subject. (Professor 1)

Certainly I also looked into it personally, but even I couldn't help but say that Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) success was remarkable when I do not think very well of that young man. Thanks to all of his achievements, he would be forgiven even if the academy's argument was accepted and he was found guilty. One of the professors looked at Lucia, who was standing next to Sage with a discouraged expression on her face, and said.

Besides, he's Lucia's older brother. (Professor 2)

Step-brother, desu. Professor. And I also thinkMy brother went too far. (Lucia)

Why are all the professors on  Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) side, but only her Imouto is on Sage's side? From what I heard about her daily life, it seems that Lucia is having a lot of trouble too. Although it is strange that it sounds like she is infatuated with him when you listen to her all the time.

Whether he is your in-law or not, I don't care either way! The problem is that arguing with him will do you no good. If you are going to spend that kind of time, you might as well explore new possibilities for this substitute. If it sucks in magic power and grows into a giant, there is even the possibility of it regenerating infinitely depending on the conditions, you know? (Professor 3)

If we could use an infinite amount of material that is similar to the World Tree Then it would be a major historical breakthrough. (Professor 4)

They completely forgot that the academy was half-destroyed by just one of its rampages. Of course, now that Sage and the rest of the professors are there, we should be able to deal with the same situation, but it is not something we can be optimistic about. But under the current situation, they would not listen to what I say. Sage, half resignedly watched the situation, when one of the professors said to her.

Then, which laboratory will be in charge of the research on this wand, but (Professor 5)

The air *pishiri* became tense. Its properties alone make it a very interesting experimental material. Anyone involved in magical research would want it even if they have to bite someone's throat. Normally, the person who procured the staff should be the one in charge, but this time the situation is what it is. All the Magi in the Academy had mobilized to stop the staff from going out of control.

Was this going to be another long debate? As I felt a sharp pain in my head from the stress, the professor said something I had not expected.

There may be many reasons to say this, but Lucia Roge, who belongs to Professor Sage laboratory, is Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) Imouto. Everyone knows that he created a grimoire for Lucia, and there is a strong possibility that this staff was also entrusted to Lucia, so I think it is logical to leave it to Professor Sage's laboratoryWhat does everyone think about this? (Professor 1)

At these words, the professors all look at Sage. But no one seemed to object. On the contrary, they were even reluctantly in favor of the idea. What is behind the thoughts of these great masters of Magic in the Imperial Capital? No This is.

Sage frowned at the looks, which even felt like they had weight behind them, and said.

I understand. However, this wand was undoubtedly made possible with the help of the Magi in each laboratory, so if we make any new discoveries, we will be sure to work together promptly. (Sage)

This is a great discovery that will go down in history. You have my best regards, Professor Sage. (Professor 1)

This isA collar.  Sage, who was the only professor in the academy who was completely unconvinced by this situation, was given something so that she wouldn't do anything unnecessary, it was a bait. Of course, there is most likely also some of Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) consideration behind his action. After all, there is no doubt that the young man cares about Lucia.

Apparently, this is as far as I will go this time. But I will not forgive you. I will not forgive you for giving Lucia such a strange grimoire and twisting her talent into that strange direction.

One of the professors called out to Lucia, who was quiet all the time.

Please give him my best regards. Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) sister. (Professor 2)

I am, his step-sister! (Lucia)

Lucia clenched her fists and raised her voice at the professor, who was twice her senior.

Thanks for reading! Haha only Lucia and Sage are against Cry. But in the end thanks to Infinite Variety's divine strategy everyone is happy!
